Many of you talked about those mini-Ninja things a long time ago here and it
interested me.

Question for you and others that have one. Will that powder hard things like
a coffee grinder will? Think of dry cat food....will the Ninja turn that
into a fine powder like a coffee grinder will?

I use my Krups coffee grinder for turning dry ferret food into powder. It's
old though and one of these days it's going to die. Just wondering if I can
use a Ninja for this or should I get another coffee grinder. When my coffee
grinder finally does die, I'll need to replace it pronto so I'm asking in
advance.
